Question

The calculation of the mean of a population and the expected value of the probability mass function of a Random Variable (RV) are quite similar. Consider a probability mass function that contains 4 unique Random Variables: 100, 200, 300, 400. If the expected value of the RV can be calculated by simply taking the average of the RVs, what can be said about the corresponding probabilities of each of the 4 RVs

Answer 1

Answer: Hello the options related to your question is missing attached below are the missing options.

A.) The probabilities of the RVs may be equal

B.) The sum of the probabilities of the RVs exceed 1

C.) This is an impossible occurrence

D.) The probabilities of the RVs must be equal

E.) None of the above

answer:

The probabilities of the RVs may be equal ( A )

Explanation:

Given that the value of the population mean and the value of probability mass function of a set of random variables are similar

For the Random Variables : 100,200,300,400

The Probability mass function of RV = ( 100 + 200 + 300 + 400 ) / 4

Hence The probabilities of the RVs may be equal
